Come to the Savior and pardon receive,
Jesus will welcome you now!
Look to the Crucified, only believe,
Jesus will welcome you now!

Jesus will welcome you now!
Jesus will welcome you now!
Do not delay—accept Him today,
He’s waiting to welcome you now!

Jesus will welcome you now!
Drink of the fountain that flows from above,
Jesus will welcome you now!

His is compassion that knoweth no end,

Jesus will welcome you now!
